Burge Quick Hits

Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday that he plans to file a lawsuit seeking to strip former Chicago Police Lt. Jon Burge of his pension.

The Chicago Police pension board split 4-4 on whether to allow Burge, who was convicted for lying about police torture under his watch, to continue receiving the payouts. Five votes were required to strip him of his pension.

Jackson said Saturday that he will file a lawsuit over that vote because Illinois state law states pension benefits shall not be paid to public officials “convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with service as a firefighter.”

We can't imagine how Jesse has any standing whatsoever in any lawsuit. He's injecting himself into something once again in a desperate effort to stay relevant.

It was put to a vote and the vote went Burge's way. What's to be embarrassed about? It's not like J-Fled ever served under Burge. He wasn't even in Chicago when any of these alleged incidents occurred. It's not like he was ever the police, period.

We're embarrassed every time J-Fled appears in sweats and a t-shirt representing the Department. We don't hold press conferences about it, though.

J-Fled is embarrased!? What about? He is not a cop by any means and will be collecting a not earned pension. So he needs to save his embarrassment for himself. He embarrases us everyday. J-Fled should not be allowed to have anything. He is a sad excuse of the city. Just in case he missed the message, we don't like him not because he was a Fed, but because he thinks he knows about police work and doesn't know anything, he is clueless in our world & he sucks with his poor selections. We are embarrased of him all together. Burge has more balls then J-Fled will ever have. That's why he kept his pension and Jesse needs to stop his ridicule especially his son was linked with trying to buy the Senator's seat. And also while counseling Clinton oh yeah he had a kid somewhere hidden. Who the hell he thinks he is preaching..!?

I am embarrassed that Jody Weis allowed Commander Trahanas to keep her command after bring both personal and public disgrace to the CPD with her arrest.

I am embarrassed that Jody Weis promoted Anthony Carouthers to Commander of the 007th District within 30 days of his Alderman brother being convicted in Federal Court of corruption.

I am embarrassed that Jody Weis promoted Ernie Brown to Deputy Superintendent, with all of the sustained allegations of misconduct in Brown's CPD history - as a command staff member!

I am embarrassed that Jody Weis and Mike Masters are members of the Chicago Police Department. Their tenure is marked with the highest levels of corruption within the command staff ranks of the Chicago Police Department.

It would be a real reach for anyone to associate Burge's conviction FOR LYING with his occupation.

Everyone seems to forget he was NOT convicted of torturing, raping, pillaging, whatever.

He was convicted of lying. I could lie about my weight to a Fed. That has nothing to do with my job. I could be CONVICTED of lying to a Fed about my weight. It still has nothing to do with my job.

Burge served this city during a different, violent, wild and crazy time in this city and he deserves his pension. Period.

And Jesse, you are irrelevant. Your day has passed. You are nothing but a user, a hanger-on. You raised a son who can't keep it in his pants, just like his dad, and who doesn't honor his marriage vows. A son who has proven to be a scummy politician who'd buy a senate seat from another scummy politician.

And we should pay attention to what YOU have to say and follow YOUR good example? I think not.

As a very recent cancer survivor myself , let me say:Quit fucking with a sick old man !Burge risked his life twice, once for Chicago and once for his country when he went to Vietnam. Did the man make mistakes ? No question. Does he need to be fucked with for the rest of his days ? I dont think so. What are they going to do ? Wait until the man dies and beat up his corpse ?Gimme a fucking break ! Lets see some of the naysayers walk in his shoes. Go bring in some Cop killers for us.

Months ago Intelligence had job opportunity announcement for positions of police officer and sergeant. Interviews were completed last month.

Word about town is the female sergent in supt's office is getting the position, along with some police officers from Jfled's office.

Once again this why we despise you Jfled. You are historically the biggest most pompous LIAR of all exempt.

And word to the wise: don't start up with that crap about all past supt's did the same thing. At least they never professed to instituting a "fair and transparent promotional and unit transfer" process.

Since Jfled reads this blog let's see if he does it now that we all know.

Ya' know something? If this comment had come from a REAL POLICE OFFICER, I might be offended, but from this asshat, truly, other than those living in the land of OZ nipping on that kool-aid, who gives a shit what he or race-baiters like Jesse or the rev-runs say or think?The media, the " community ".The community I work for gets up,puts in 8 or more hours of work, then maybe a few hours on a side job, pays taxes, takes responsibility for their children. This instead of looking for the next handout.So, J-fled & Jesse...GO FUCK YOURSELVES!

I am embarrassed that Jody Weis and Mike Masters are members of the Chicago Police Department. Their tenure is marked with the highest levels of corruption within the command staff ranks of the Chicago Police Department.--------------------------------I doubt that is true. The CPD has had a lot of corrupt higher ups going back into the 1800s. You can't really expect honest higher ups in any city department in a city run by a series of criminals for over a century.

He was convicted for something he did after he was retired. The law says he keeps his pension period. If they do this than any retired officer that breaks the law will lose their pension as well. I love the way these liberal racist pukes try and change the rules whenever they feel like it or do not like the true legal decision rendered.

I'm embarassed every time I see cocunut head with our uniform on--- this cocksucker always has to open his big mouth and talk about shit he knows nothing about--- we need a boss with a set of brass balls, not some touchy feely cat whisperer who runs away from danger....

Hey the biggest crook this city ever seen has collected several pensions (No Not Capone). It's Da Mayo but his dirt will never be exposed on earth. He has to many dirty pictures and hidden audio and video on many. Da Mayo will have his trial and judgement on his way to Hell! Please I hope nobody 4 to 8 years from now falls for the Daley trick again. Nora Daley is positioning herself for the Hall.......

the media allows too many commentators to say burge was convicted for torturing prisoners. not true. he was convicted for lying about knowledge of it during a deposition -- long after he retired. his sentence was based on the lying conviction. the judge even said that if he took the 5th at the dep, he would not have been charged criminally.

Thursday night at the WGN-Tribune mayoral debate, co-moderator Bruce Dold asked for the hard truth about Emanuel’s part-time job in 2000 and 2001 as a board member of the now-disgraced mortgage giant Freddie Mac. He was paid $320,000 to attend six meetings a year.

Rahm dodged questions about this being a clout plum from Bill Clinton and any responsibility for the housing crisis in this country.

Hey Jesse, how about your extortion of companies like Budweiser to get your kids a lucrative contract. How about your vows as a reverend when you committed adultery. Where does your money come from, it couldn't be from the seven people who show up for Operation Push meetings. Who pays your child support. Just wondering.

Why the media gives this insiginificant piece of history any opportunity for sound bites. Jesse jackson should stop his pandering and race baiting. Mister, im going to boycott your company, so i can get a distributorship, ask for favors so my friends can run a business, where people died. Its all about getting paid for jesse. Ask anyone, what has jesse done for their community, besides being a sellout. They cant answer it. Communities are pretty much the same. Gangs run the show. Drug running and money laundering by certain churches run the hood. The title of reverend, meant a person of G-d, leading its flock to spiritual enlightment, not to get in line for goverment entitlements and cheese. There is a special place in hell for people like jesse, he has used G-d for his personal gain and has misled his flock. He has used white man guilt to get his and pretty much left everyman for themselves. So jesse about burges pension, its his, he earned it! Shut up and mind your business, your business has always been to get money for nothing and your chicks for free. The city is broke and the women already know your game.

Jody weis be embarass for yourself, you have been a 300,000 figurehead. A non-lawenforcement underling has been running your show since week one. Burge though not perfect worked the trenches, your current boss, richie daley, signed off on those arrest. Are you embarassed by him. Are you embarassed of being paid a salary that other real police never earned as superintendent, and both you and masters getting a pension based on 3yrs of work ? Look and think before you give your soundbites for the day. The real chicagoan knows the TRUTH, something you and your bosses have yet to live or work by.

I'm embarrased evey time I think of the promotions J-Fled made and the leadership he has set forth. We're a laugh a minute. And as for Jesse, I think he has enough things to be embarrassed within his own self and family to be concerned about anything else.

The old man headed straight for the only saloon to clear his parched throat.

He walked up and tied his old mule to the hitch rail. As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.

The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"

The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance; never really wanted to."

A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now," and started shooting at the old man's feet.

The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet. Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.

When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.

The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.

The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.

The crowd stopped laughing immediately.

The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly. The silence was almost deafening.

The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin barrels.

The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever licked a mule's ass?"

Never be arrogant.Don't waste ammunition.Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.Always, always make sure you know who has the power.Don't mess with old men, they didn't get old by being stupid.

Are you embarassed of being paid a salary that other real police never earned as superintendent, and both you and masters getting a pension based on 3yrs of work ? Look and think before you give your soundbites for the day. The real chicagoan knows the TRUTH, something you and your bosses have yet to live or work by.

Correct me if I am wrong, but neither of these guys are getting a pension from our funds....can anyone dispute or confirm??

I am not a police officer and I don't live in Chicago, so I don't believe I am entitled to comment on what an asshast JFled is (although I just did so). But Jesshup "N'gimmeyomonay" Jackson, that's a different story. What a complete, total, worthless scumbag POS. After all his decades of promoting racism and feeding out of the trough, I find it hard to believe that the media gives this jagoff any coverage. Rev. Jesse Jackson. The "Rev." actually stands for revolting. What a frigging hypocrite.

The hard truth is that this city was in a real bind in the 70's and 80's, between 800 and 900 murders per year, not to mention the A/Robberies, Rapes etc. Police Officers being shot or beaten on a regular basis. The Lefkow's, Flint Taylor's, Daley's, Thompson's, Webb's' Jackson's, and Weiss' all lived in relative safe enclaves protected by good men who wore blue. Not one of them could Jon's jockstrap. He was and still is a brave man and this is his thanks, convicted for LYING? The above mentioned sons-a-bitches lie every day, and make tons of money and deal off the bottom of the deck when it comes to average Joe. The sooner we are rid of these rotten bastard's the better. Let Burge Go!

Does OJ Simpson still get a pension, even though the killers of Goldman and Nicole have never been found? Burge was not convicted of something he did on the job. Just as ex-Gov. Thompson pleads for Ryan's mercy, despite Ryan's lies, leave Burge alone. For God Sake's he's already going to prison, isn't that enough? What about JFed and Masters?

I hate being told where to live myself as much as the next guy, but I do think the pension issue is more important right now. In 9 years, I will be able to retire and draw from a 20 year pension. I want to take that money and supplement a lower paying, more satisfying part time career. I want to have my pension there to help me pay my bills after I gave 22 of my best years to this job. No respect, working horrible hours, being left out of family get togethers, missing special events, being attacked, harrassed, injured, etc... some of these on a daily baises. Credit and character all affected by frivilous lawsuits being brought upon us by bottom feeding law firms, just for City payouts to low class criminals, when an Officer just does his job. I want the pension that was promised as a benefit of the job I swore to do. You see, we agreed to uphold the law, live in the City, and about a million other things. I, and thousands of others, agreed to and have kept our end of the deal. Now it's time for the City to hold up their end of the deal. There is a possibility that I will see at least 3 or 4 New Superintendents, 2 to 3 Mayors, and a couple new Presidents over my final stretch. I don't think the best person will ever be chose for any of those job's, but the rest of us that are actually doing our job's should be properly compensated. It's the least we should expect and it should not be messed with. It is the only light at the end of the Public Servants job. Our driving force.
